Smith & Wesson Contracts Out Barrels

[Kirk Freeman]

Smith positions itself for the XM17 by contracting pieces out of Massachusetts into politically Electoral Count rich Florida. Smart move.

Smith barrels to be produced by General Dynamics.

I wonder if by contracting them out that they can eliminate the accuracy issues with them.

I love the M&P, but I did not love spending $175 on a KKM barrel to reduce the shotgun pattern.

Did you ever contact S&W about that? I believe that the earlier guns' barrels had improperly designed locking ramps (or whatever the proper name is) and they came out of battery too soon upon firing. S&W has great customer service. I bet if you contacted them about it, they'd hook you up with a new barrel.

Yep and the 2nd one did it too.

I decided that I would upgrade it.

It's because a corporation JOINTLY OWNED by S&W and General Dynamics won the contact for guns, ammo, parts and ammo.
